this is my very first time i took pictures of waterfalls or water with long exposure , i don't have any filters . I shot this with a kit lens on a canon 600d/rebel 3Ti . What can i improve on these kind of shots ?
The current AI contest made me revisit a photo I took in 2008 that I've been trying to save from a chain link fence.
Evening just after sunset at Taliesin West. Scottsdale, Arizona. View of the dining room & bell tower.
Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.

Without having to buy any more gear, I think just shooting during the right time of day, as well as under the right lighting conditions works wonders. It's really easy for the rushing water in these shots to be blown out if you attempt them when the sun is shining high in the sky.
If you are can, get a hold of a polarizer filter. That is without a doubt the most useful filter you will ever buy for nature photography, water shots especially. A polarizer will also help with extending the open shutter time since it knocks off some light, which will give you silky soft water shots if you are aiming for that look. There are simple ways to fake long exposures in Photoshop by image stacking, which is why owning a polarizer is much more important than neutral density filters.
what kind of filters you would recommend me buying ?? since im on the topic of nature photography , would it be wise for me to invest in the Tokina 11-16mm DX Pro II ultra-wide angle lens ? i would love to hear your comments about it sir , thank you !
